GSA International Section Travel Grants

Application deadline: 1 July

Funds for these travel grants are limited so grants cannot cover all expenses.

Section officers intend to let applicants know about their status (successful or not) by 1 August 2012, which allows a 90-day window for processing travel visa documents.
